I recently purchased a yacht via Detlef Bauer of Australiawide and would like to offer my compliments on the service.
I was looking for an offshore-capable yacht and was fairly specific in my requirements. The photos of the yacht that caught my attention clearly showed the need for remedial work to bring her up to scratch.
Learning of my desire to sail her out of Australia through the islands to New Zealand, Detlef was careful to convey a balanced opinion of the yacht’s condition and potential. (Only later did he divulge an extensive resume of offshore experience that certainly qualified him.)
Six weeks later when I finally saw the yacht I had purchased sight unseen, I found her to be much as advertised and was pleased with my purchase.
I must also thank Detlef for his untiring service that carried on long after the sale was concluded. This has been especially welcome for an overseas buyer such as myself preparing to take a vessel offshore.
I would happily purchase via Detlef and Australiawide again.
